Competition Part 2

"Correct."

Xia Ping rubbed his chin and said, "Emotionally, he actually advanced to the Eighth Stage Heavenly Layer of the Martial Apprentice realm before the competition." "It looks like our school has another spot in the finals."

What?!

Xiong Batian and the others glared at Xia Ping, their noses crooked from anger. What was the meaning of this? What did he mean by another spot in the finals? This bastard had never treated them as main fighters before. They were just cannon fodder.

Despite the fact that this was true, Tianshui City was enormous.There were countless geniuses, and Tianshui City's 95th High School was only an ordinary middle school without any outstanding talents.

But you can't be so blunt. Isn't this clearly slapping their faces?

"Xia Ping, what are you talking about?" "Don't you know how to speak?" Jiang Yaru glared at this bastard. This fellow's mouth was always so detestable, no matter what. He could drive people to their graves.

Xia Ping seemed to have come to his senses as well and showed an apologetic look. "I'm sorry; I accidentally said the truth. "I'll be careful next time."

Pay attention, my ass!

The veins on the foreheads of Xiong Batian and the others bulged. These words were even more detestable. They were all sincere, but didn't that mean that this was what a bastard was thinking?

"Alright, alright. Stop chatting here. Hurry up and get on the bus. "We still have to head to Tianshui City Gymnasium." The teacher, Qiuxue, coughed and interrupted Xia Ping.

If this continued, they would probably start fighting.

Hearing Teacher Qiuxue's words, Xiong Batian and the others did not dare to delay. Ever since they had been saved by Teacher Qiuxue on Beast Island, they had witnessed the terrifying strength of this female teacher. They were in awe.

Upon hearing the female teacher's words, they immediately obeyed, not daring to disobey.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The group of people boarded the bus and started driving towards Tianshui City Stadium.

Qiuxue was the leader this time. She was in charge of leading the students to the arena to participate in this year's Tianshui City High School Competition. Leaders like the principal and vice-principal had long gone to the arena to represent the school in the opening ceremony.

"Everyone, pay attention."

Seeing the students take their seats on the bus, Qiuxue immediately explained the rules of the competition. This high school combat competition is divided into two parts. "One is the preliminary round, and the other is the finals."

"As you all know, there are a lot of people participating in this tournament, so the preliminary rounds immediately determine the winner and loser." Only 16 people can qualify for the finals, and the rest will be eliminated."

Xia Ping and the others nodded in agreement. There were more than three hundred schools in Tianshui City each year, and each school would send out ten people.

With over three thousand people competing together, if they were to fight one by one, who knew how long it would take? Therefore, the vast majority of people would be eliminated in the preliminary round to choose the top 16.

"Teacher, how did the preliminary go?"

Xia Ping was very curious; he could not understand how three thousand people were eliminated in one go.

"That's a good question."

Qiuxue smiled slightly. "The preliminary rounds of every high school combat competition are different." The previous one was running, and the top sixteen were the victors. The last one seemed to be climbing a mountain. "As long as the first sixteen people climbed a mountain tens of thousands of meters high, they would be qualified to enter the finals."

"And this time is even more special." "It's a survival competition."

Survival competition?!

Xia Ping and the others looked at Qiuxue.

"The preliminary this time is a big deal."

Qiuxue smiled. "Tianshui City's government spent a lot of money to transform Tianshui City's stadium into a small city." "It simulates a real city with supermarkets, hotels, residential areas, administrative centers, and so on."

"However, this city is very dangerous because the army has deployed powerful monsters in every corner of the city." "You need to survive in this city for three days."

She held up three fingers.

"What?!"

Jiang Yaru and the others were shocked. It was a big move. It was indeed a big move. Although technology is extremely advanced now, even a hundred-story building could be built using 3D printing technology. It could be built overnight by machines, and the quality was no less than any other concrete building. It could defend against a level-eight earthquake.

But he had to spend money! an astronomical amount of money!

They did not dare imagine that within a few days, the gymnasium would be completely transformed into a small city just for the three-day high school combat competition.

"Don't be too surprised." There's a reason why they're so generous.

Qiuxue said, "This year seems to be the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Sky Water City." In order to celebrate, the government officials decided to hold a large-scale celebration, which is why it is so grand.

"This competition will be broadcasted throughout the city." "Even the entire Yangzhou District can watch it."

"Just the broadcasting fees alone are worth a lot, so there's no need to worry about the government losing money."

However, Jiang Yaru and the others had heavy hearts because if they did that, they would gain the attention of so many people. If they made a fool of themselves in front of so many people, it would be terrible. They didn't know how many people would laugh at them.

Xia Ping was very excited. With so many people watching, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to gain a lot of Hatred Points? This was simply a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"If you want to pass the preliminary round, just surviving in this simulated city for three days will do?" Xia Ping asked impatiently. He had thought through the rules of the competition.

"How can it be so simple?"

Autumn Snow shook her head. "In order to pass the preliminary rounds and advance to the top 16, besides surviving in this city for three days, you also need to obtain a token hidden in the city." There are a total of 16 such tokens.

"These tokens are hidden beside the strongest monsters in this simulation city. Each of them has the strength of a martial artist and is extremely powerful. "If you are not careful, you will definitely die."

She looked very serious.

Xiong Batian and the others all held their breaths. A monster with the strength of a martial artist?! On Beast Island, ordinary beasts could tear them apart.

If it was a monster with the strength of a martial artist, they would probably be torn apart by those monsters if they charged at it together. How were they supposed to fight? Wasn't this just sending themselves to their deaths?!

"Difficult? That's normal."

Qiuxue nodded. "Because this is the highest competition for high school students in Tianshui City. It represents the highest level in Tianshui City. Only those who can do this can be called geniuses and become the sixteen strongest people in Tianshui City.

"If it's not that difficult, how can we eliminate over 3000 people?!"

"You can say that I wouldn't be surprised if all of you were eliminated." "After all, there are too many geniuses in this world."
